MODES OF NAFTAPOS SYSTEM OPERATION

Taking into account that in different countries there are different particularities of petrol stations operation like:

the way the customers are serviced (order amd payment is given at pump or to cashier in petrol station office)

the way how the management of petrol station is done (operation of cashiers in working shifts or without)

the way how sales and remains of fuel are calculated (using automatic tanks gauge system, pump total counters, inventory reconcilation)

NaftaPOS software is designed to make it possible to flexibly configure and adjust a required way of operation and allow customers to make it work as their local rules demand.

One of the commonly used methods of NaftaPOS operation is when control over fuel dispensers is made by fuel attendants, who service customers. Fuel attendants operate dispensers and receive payment from customers. Fuel attendants control the fuel dispensers as if those worked in a standalone mode (administering starts automatically when the dispensing nozzle is lifted and trigger is pressed). In this mode it is possible to make fuel order preset (in volume or in money amount) from the dispenser preset keyboard. At this moment NaftaPOS software monitors all the transactions being performed and writes all the information to its database. Also cashier at any time can see activity of every fuel dispenser and in case of necessity can stop any of them and receive reports on operation remotely from NaftaPOS software. Receipts can be optionally printed after each dispensing.

Also in this mode third-party applications are able to use NaftaPOS software database as a storage of all transactions and sales performed (locally or remotely) – then this third party software can find total data on all sales and transactions from NaftaPOS database. NaftaPOS can be set to work without any working shifts and automatically start at launching PC so that it was possible to start operation with dispensers:

Another popular way of NaftaPOS operation is when control over fuel dispensers is made by the cashier, who logs in NaftaPOS under a working shift (using his personal login and password) and is responsible for all sales performed at petrol station. Money are to be directly paid to the cashier, each customer after the sales performed receives a receipt:

1. Can NaftaPOS software be used for monitoring the fuel dispensers only?

Also NaftaPOS system has a web-based HEAD-Office system called WebReports to provide:

online monitoring of each petrol station activity (fuel dispensers operation, remains and parameters of fuel in tanks, current working shift operations) to provide control over personnel at petrol station and security;

2. Does NaftaPOS software integrate own fuel cards system?

NaftaCards system can have several applications at petrol station and for each application the structure of hardware can differ:

1. Application of cards by clients of the petrol station (private customer or corporate users).

In this case cardholders are clients of the petrol station. Card reader can be installed near NaftaPOS system inside the operator premise of petrol station or near the fuel dispensers.

In this case it is necessary to select fuel for dispensing (in NaftaPOS system or having previously taken up required nozzle on fuel dispenser) and after that bring a card to the reader. Dispensing can be authorized up to the maximal limit of the card.

2. Application of cards by fuel attendants of petrol station and building reports on activity of each fuel attendant.

In this case fuel card is used for identification of a fuel attendant, who is servicing current dispensing by fuel dispenser. The dispensing can only start in case if fuel attendant brings his fuel card close to the card reader, which is installed on the fuel dispenser. The card reader reads the fuel attendant's card and NaftaPOS system verifies it on the server. The dispenser will be authorize for dispensing only in case if the card of fuel attendant is valid and allowed in the system, so without a valid fuel attendant card it is not possible to start dispensing (no one can steal petrol by start dispensing himself). Fuel attendant receives payment in the form of cash from clients of petrol station. NaftaPOS system in the end of the working day (working shift) builds a report on activity of every fuel attendant and total cash money amount, which fuel attendant received from customers and should return to petrol station owner.
